The rust of wheat has naturally received a large share of attention on account of its influence upon one of our staple industries; but it is still only one of a number that require to be studied. Hence, at the several Rust in Wheat Conferences held in the different States, investigations were invariably recommended to be made "regarding all plants that are affected by rust in the different colonies," because it was felt that such a wide outlook was necessary even for understanding properly the history of a single species. The present work, then, which has been in hand for a number of years, aims at recording all rusts, as far as known in Australia at present, and this will prepare the way for a consideration of the best methods of preventing their appearance, or limiting their spread in the numerous commercial crops subject to their ravages. The familiar saying that to know any subject well we must know the details of it, is very applicable in this case. The necessary details are given here to enable one to recognise the different forms the rusts assume, and the different stages through which they generally pass in order to complete their life-history. Besides, there is a special object in view in thus recording and describing the Rust-fungi of Australia, for this can afterwards be used as a basis in working out the life-history of those particular forms which attack our cultivated and economic plants, and often do considerable damage. All the species known to occur in Australia are included, and when proved to be aliens, they are noted as introduced in the index. Every species of which specimens are available is also figured in its essential parts, so that there may be no doubt as to the form intended. In this I have been ably aided by my assistant, Mr. G. H. Robinson, who has supplied the numerous photomicrographs reproduced here, which give such a vivid representation of the peculiar and distinguishing characters of the spores. A number of drawings have likewise been executed by Mr. C. C. Brittlebank, who has had considerable experience in drawing from microscopic preparations. The principal works consulted, or referred to, are given in the Bibliography at the end, and those wishing for fuller references, will find them in Klebahn's Die wirtswechselnden Rostpilze [The Heteroecious Rusts], 1904.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ochre and Rust offers a fresh perspective on frontier relations between Australian Aboriginal people and European colonists. Nine museum artefacts take the reader into a fascinating zone of encounter and mutual curiosity between collectors and those indigenous people who piqued or responded to their interest. While colonialism is the broad frame, details gleaned from archives, images and the objects themselves reveal a new picture of interaction between individual Aboriginal people and European collectors. Philip Jones explores and makes sense of particular historical moments in colonial history, when Aboriginal people perceived and expected other, more elusive outcomes. Ochre and Rust, an elegantly written challenge to received wisdom about the colonial frontier, has won Australia's inaugural Prime Minister's Award for Literary Non-Fiction.
